The temporary disability rate for a baker with earnings of $1400 per week, for an injury on May 1, 2010 is?

• A. $933.33
• B. $881.66
• C. $916.33
• D. $986.69

Answer: (A)

Temporary disability benefits in California are paid at two-thirds of the employee’s average weekly wage, subject to the year’s maximum TD rate. Here, the baker’s earnings are 1400 per week, so the calculation is 1400 × 2/3 = 933.33. Since this amount is within the 2010 maximum TD rate, the temporary disability payment is 933.33 per week.
